Answer: Decolonisation

  • Decolonisation means the process by which colonies became free from the rule of foreign (European) powers and became independent nations.
  • After the Second World War the colonial powers were weakened, national movements grew strong and the UN supported the right of self-determination.
  • Countries of Asia such as India (1947), Myanmar, Sri Lanka and Indonesia became free, followed by many African countries such as Ghana (1957); 1960 is called the ‘Year of Africa’.
  • In India, decolonisation also included freeing Goa, Puducherry and other foreign settlements and integrating them with India.
